Today's Office
Brought to you in part by,
"Masters Degree Preferred" - You need to go $75,000 into debt so our HR ditzes can more easily sort out resumes. "Masters Degree Preferred" - the biggest, most expensive and unnecessary hoop we force our labor force to jump through.
Also by,
"Commutes" - We don't care if the technology allows for everybody to work from home. We need to condition our labor force to obey. Thank god for commutes. "Commutes" - when you're a masochist control freak that hates your employees.
Also by,
"Layoffs" - Were you loyal to the company to the core and gave it your all? Tough shit. We found somebody who will do it for $1/hour cheaper. "Layoffs" - reserved only for the most loyal and naive employees.
Also by,
"Divorce" - Make sure you get your spouse to divorce you as you spend more time at work than tending to your family. "Divorce" - sponsored by the Corporate-America & Feminism Partnership.

Captain, while I remain neutral in regards to your premise, I do not think it follows from the linked article.
People are protesting because of a tripling of a tax on a certain activity (i.e., that having to do with horses).
Our founding fathers were blowing people's heads off because of the modern equivalent of taxing a cup of coffee an additional 5 cents.
Regardless, keep up the good work. I like your articles.
"Layoffs" - Why I always managed to "find" copies of keys to the loading dock/store room/server farm.
Nothing like swapping labels on shipments, parts bins, or tape reels. (Ya, I'm old.)
